Wenger 16" Synergy Ballistic Laptop Backpack, Black

I needed a backpack for a trip and saw a partially filled SwissGear backpack in my son's closet. He had moved out and left it behind. I used it for my business trip where I always need a laptop storage for office supplies various cords and chargers and several project folders. The pocket organization was ideal for my purposes. It easily fit all of my items and the pocket on the top was perfect for easy access to my glasses case contact case boarding pass Chapstick and mints. At the airport I was able to fill my water bottle and carry it in the water bottle holders. It had a perfect side pocket for my umbrella just behind the water bottle. I had enough room to put a few plane snacks in the backpack to be enjoyed on the flight. The backpack fit underneath my seat without any issues and I could access all pockets easily even when under the seat. I used it for a few more trip and decided I should just get myself a new backpack of my own. I love the organization. It makes for a great portable desk.

I bought this a month ago to replace a slightly larger version of the same bag. The compartment organization is better in this update and the grab handle isn't plastic so hopefully won't crack like the old one did (but I had that bag for 10 years it lasted a long time). The ballistic nylon feels sturdier and this bag actually sits upright when sat on the floor. I love the thumb pulls for tightening the straps. This was a required feature for the new bag purchase. Such an underrated option. All in all this bag has tons of space but so far I'm not losing things in it like I did with the old bag. The organization differences of this bag make all the difference. Highly recommend.
